Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.

Easy to say, very hard to do.

Hi XFSmiles,

True, very hard to do, but for me it is worth the effort.

Wise words from both of you (((( XFSmiles )))), (((( Warmie )))). It is indeed a difficult thing to do, at times it almost feels like learning a foreign language, trying to take a phrase from " Depressed " language and translate it into " Waste not fresh tears over old griefs " language.
Still, I do believe that it is worth the effort. Perhaps, like many things, the very effort, the practice, the repetition of " challenging " my negative thoughts and feelings is of value. As the old joke goes:

Lost out-of-town tourist: " How do I get to Carnegie Hall " ?,

New York resident: " Practice, lady, practice..."

( Sorry, I do the old jokes...It's not my fault...It's like an illness...I deserve pity, not condemnation... )

((((((((Tacking)))))))))) I rolled when I saw it!

Hi there! Don't worry, you're just fine! (Just be who you are--no apologies. I'll remind myself to do that, as well!)

Thanks, (((( crystalgaze ))))!

We all fight our little battles, anything to help us get through it all. Can't look to the future clearly if your eyes are tearing about something from the past.

/me pass Kleenex to all; hope that helps.
